Ask Avalon a quota.

Thanks for your comment Simon!

Glad you enjoyed it! :)

You have to ask fishing from the Kuredu resort management. They will make you an offer of an fishing charter. Usually they have rods, lures etc, but you can also bring your own. Note that it is prohibited to fish from the shores of Kuredu island. There are different kind of charters: Offshore trolling with a group, casting from a small boat, etc. I think they have the rates on their Kuredu island website for these different charters.

@@aanomad thank you

Are you referring to the strip set I have on my hips (seen at 3.20 and later with the tarpon fight). It is a danish design (nowadays the brand name is Ahrex Flexi-stripper), originally for fly fishing Baltic sea trout from the shore as you wade and water level is 2+ feet. It is the best ever design to keep your line not getting messed up. Also for saltwater fly fishing from a skiff. Never fly fish without it.

Thanks! Yes it was 😉

Thanks!

True, and fun to catch.

No, no sharks. ;)

Thanks! However, not much to show when it comes to spay or roll cast etc. 99 % of my fly fishing is 1) pike from a boat, 2) seatrout from an open shore or 3) saltwater on a boat or an open flat. ;)

Do you mean the coat on the bamboo rod? I use HEMPEL Dura-satin Varnish. It is a single component, urethane modified alkyd coat (for wooden boats) www.hempelyacht.com/en-GB/products/hempels-dura-satin-varnish-02040

Thanks Dennis!

Thanks!

I would contact a local guide: Oleg Jeremin from Prague. fishinginprague.com/

Thanks buddy! :)

Vaikea sanoa, en ole käynyt kökämäenolla.

Kiitos!

Usually 20-25 meters. Sometimes, when you have the wind in your back, 30 meters. In some spots you need only 10-15 m.

Thanks for sharing your memories. 😊

Thanks! But sorry, I make rods only for myself. Not for sale.

@@aanomad if you ever change your mind theyd sure sell well!

Can't really say. It was somewere between Tokyo and mount Fuji...

AA Nomad, could have been Okutama, which is between Tokyo and Fuji-san, however, there are a lot of rivers between the two. I’ll be back in Japan for an exclusive fishing visit next year. I will probably contact this guide. My friend who I used to fish with moved away from Tokyo, so I’ve no one to follow.

@@flairball hi, it may have been Okutama, yes. Just can't remember the name. And Yes, Ebi is a nice Guy and a good Guide.

Yes, my guide bought it.

Thanks Edwin, it is Great! :D

Kiitos, vaan ei ollut enempää materiaalia! :D

Maybe they are all planted when small. And hardly any happen to grow bigger before they are hooked.. ?

Kiitos! :D

Thanks Alemao 😊

Thanks! The bamboo fly rod, Katri, weights 185 g. It doesn't feel that heavy as the rod itself does so much of the casting. It is quite different from carbon rods..

#metoo 😁

Joo, fiilis on potenssiin kaksi. Toisaalta bambu kestää hyvin kovaakin vääntöä ja heittäminen on pehmeää kuin silkki. :D

Are you sure? Muz said those 2 were blue bastards, ie painted sweetlips... and he has done guiding in Hervey Bay for ages.

@@aanomad I haven't heard of them called painted sweet lip before blue bastards is another name for them what fly did you get them on I need to stock up on my flies before I do a trip around Australia haha

@@theparabolicbend Green mantis shrimp tied in size 2 hook. 😊
